Chapter 31: The Female Corpse in the River

The next morning, the sky was gray, but two figures quietly left the wooden house in the northwest corner of Mangcheng, and their figures slowly disappeared into the edge of the woods.

Niu Fei knew very well where Diao Xuejing was going, but the path she took seemed very unfamiliar at first, and it was a bit of a toss.

This is a mountain road, the road is unusually bumpy, and it is darker than the flat road, and the strong mountain wind is howling, and the road is difficult to walk.

So Niu Fei, a boy with a childish spirit, followed Diao Xuejing's back buttocks, Diao Xuejing didn't feel strange at all, nor did he feel that his movements were abrupt, he always thought he was still a child, so he had a strong sense of belonging in his heart.

When he came to a place, Niu Fei and Diao Xuejing stopped almost at the same time, he didn't need to look, just by listening with his ears, he knew that the right side was the abyss, yes, this was the cliff valley.

Niu Fei still remembers the Cliff Valley vividly, and the marginal area is even more dangerous, even if a monk with a little strength can have an accident without all preparations.

They walked on the edge of the cliff valley, slowing down their pace and walking along the slender cliff, Diao Xuejing on the left squeezed Niu Fei on the outer wing to the edge of the cliff.

Niu Fei knew that this was a dangerous road, but he walked on the outer wing and was not afraid at all. First, he has always been stubborn in courage, second, every time he takes a step, he will stop and stabilize his body, and will never shake so that he stumbles, and third, Diao Xuejing on Niu Fei's left also stretched out his hand to hook his arm.

With these reasons, he did not hesitate and continued to move forward silently.

After walking for more than ten steps, a strong mountain wind blew from the land to the valley, causing the two of them to tilt their bodies a little. However, fortunately, the two of them did not lose their center of gravity, and after holding on for a while, the mountain road finally became wider, and the two of them sped up to get through this narrow road safely.

On the road.

Niu Fei felt very strange, why didn't the spacious and flat continent go, and had to choose such a dangerous cliff.

Didn't ask, he just guessed, maybe for secrecy.

......

This trip to Chen Guo is thousands of miles away, and the hardships and dangers on the road are a kind of experience, and the whole process may be more effective than practicing hard for three or five years. First, this trip is to investigate the truth about the killing of Diao Xuejing's family, and second, to take the opportunity to sign up for the ranking competition in the Holy Land every ten years.

After walking for more than three hours, the sky was already bright.

The road has been merged into the right track, that is, the road where Niu Fei went to rescue Diao Xuejing at that time, there is a river next to it, the river is a little turbulent, both of them are a little thirsty, and they want to replenish water by the river and take a rest by the way.

In a moment, a floating black shadow in the river caught Niu Fei's attention, he patted Diao Xuejing's shoulder who was squatting down to get water, and then pointed to the shadow, "Sister, look over there." ”

Diao Xuejing got up and raised her head, looked in the direction where his fingers moved, and instantly shouted in surprise, "Someone drowned......

I saw a female corpse floating in the water, dressed in luxurious and bright clothes, dressed like a noble and rich woman.

Before they could find out, another female corpse floated upstream, the same outfit.

Niu Fei neatly took out a slender weapon from the receiving ring, this weapon was purple all over, it was a spear, and salvaged the body close to the shore, and looked at it to see that it was indeed dead.

The two looked at it for a while, and found that the two corpses were injured by the same sharp weapon, and the wounds were the same, and the strange thing was that the blood of the two was sucked dry, and with the help of water, they recovered a little full and bloated body, otherwise, what they saw now would have been a dried corpse.

Diao Xuejing tugged at the corner of Niu Fei's clothes, and the two came to the side.

She asked, "Have you ever seen this kind of death before?" Both of them were women, and they should have been beautiful and glamorous when they were alive, but unfortunately they were not famous. ”

Niu Fei said: "Judging from the current situation, it is not certain, but ......"

Diao Xuejing asked, "But what?

Niu Fei smiled and said: "I'm just guessing, there is no real evidence, and you can't just charge others with crimes." ”

Diao Xuejing said curiously: "Do you suspect who did it?"

Niu Fei glanced at the corpse, "Do you still remember that you were tied up by Chen He to the Tianji Inn at that time? In order to save you, I killed a total of seven people, and you only saw three corpses when you went downstairs, in fact, the other four corpses, when we searched the Tianji Inn to find your whereabouts, those corpses were taken away by an old man, and the five of them were all disciples of the old man." ”

Diao Xuejing was surprised: "Old man, I haven't heard of it, there is such a strange name, it doesn't sound like a good person, you should be careful when you meet him." ”

Niu Fei emphasized again, "I'm not sure that these two corpses were not done by the old man or his disciples, but their cultivation methods are indeed different from ours, it is said that he and his disciples both use the essence and blood of beautiful women to improve their cultivation, this way is spurned by the cultivation world, and this kind of cultivators are also not in the stream, so they do whatever they want to attract the attention of others." ”

Diao Xuejing smiled: "Okay, let's investigate this matter first before we go on the road." ”

Niu Fei was surprised and said with emotion: "If you care about everything like you, you won't be able to reach Chen Guo in the Year of the Monkey." ”

Diao Xuejing suddenly put one finger straight and placed it in the middle of his seductive little mouth, signaling Niu Fei to be silent.

At this time, Niu Fei also noticed something unusual nearby, and Diao Xuejing dragged him to hide behind a rock, wanting to observe the purpose of the visitor.

The person who came looked reluctant, and he was also the type of bully the soft and afraid of the hard. They searched down the river from the upper reaches of the river, and one of them complained as he searched, "People are dead, and we have to search for their bodies, if we know this, why bother in the first place, I don't know what this old thief wants to do?

The other person glanced around and whispered: "You only dare to say this in front of me, try it in front of others, it's not me who said you, we are all licking blood at the tip of a knife to live, and your life will be finished sooner or later on your cheap mouth." ”

Under this person's training, the man touched his head with a helpless expression.

The two continued to search, and then, complaining about the man, they cried out in surprise, "Big brother, look over there." ”

Quickly walked over, the two of them crouched down and looked at the two corpses, and the man continued: "Two living people, since they were captured in the Demon Cave, have suffered humiliation, and finally their blood has been drained. ”

Another person scolded: "You fucking girl, there is still no end, hurry up and work, otherwise, you and I will not survive tonight." ”

The two of them carried a corpse on their shoulders and walked slowly in the direction they had come.

Niu Fei and Diao Xuejing walked out from behind the rock, and they heard the words of the two clearly, just as Niu Fei guessed, these two women were killed by the lewd old man.

Diao Xuejing looked at the sluggish Niu Fei and said, "What are you still stunned about?" ”
